Information
Brrrrrrr.....its kind of cold out there, but as they say at the Waukesha JanBoree...come out anyways for a “No Mopin’, Nose Nippn’, Cold Snappin’ Good Time.” The Frosty 5K is part of the Waukesha Janboree and the Wisconsin Chilly Willy Winter Run Series, and it's a great excuse to bundle up and go for a run in the cold and snow. Bring the family and enjoy more than 35 events throughout Waukesha all weekend long. As for the race itself, the course is super flat and runnable for accessible to all ages and abilities. The course is just two laps around the Fox River in beautiful Frame Park. We won't lie, it's been know to be cold in January, but that hasn't stopped hundreds of runners from coming out year after year to the Frosty 5K and the Waukesha JanBoree to celebrate all Wisconsin has to give us in the dead of winter.
Pets
Sorry, pets are not permitted at this event. It is a City ordinance.
What does a Frosty 5K run look like?
Course
The 5K course is super flat and fast and accessible to runners or all ages and abilities. The course is two laps around the Fox River using paved trails within the park. Walkers should stay right so that faster runners can pass them. All runners will run by the finish line after their first lap (not through) -- on their second lap, runners will run through the finish line. In order to accommodate a shared start/finish line, the 5K course is slightly longer (about 5.5 km, or 3.4 miles).
Walkers will complete one lap around the park.
Aid Station
There will be one aid station on course at the finish line (see course map). Runners will pass the aid station approximately 1.2 miles into their run. The aid station will have water.
